✨ Worried about covering the cost of your pet’s treatment? We’ve got options to help! 🐾💙

At MASH we offer VetPay — a flexible payment plan that allows you to pay for your pet's care over time. Simply make an initial deposit with us, and the remaining balance will be direct debited in manageable fortnightly payments. 💸

For insured clients, we’re proud to provide GapOnly®, which streamlines the claims process. Your claim is reviewed and calculated on the spot while you're still at the vet, so you only pay the gap and go. No waiting, no stress! GapOnly claims are for partnering insurers only!🐶🐱 Your pet's health is our top priority, and we’re here to make it as easy as possible for you. 💖

Today, Callie’s back to her usual happy, lively self. We’re so proud of her resilience and thrilled to see her back on her paws. 💛 Here’s to many more safe adventures Callie!

🐾 Meet Dodge, our courageous 9-year-old Cattle Dog! 🐾

Dodge recently came to Melbourne Animal Specialist Hospital after experiencing some worrying episodes of feeling unwell. After thorough diagnostics, a CT scan revealed a bile stone lodged within his common bile duct, causing a painful obstruction as well as further stones within his gallbladder. To ensure his recovery, our specialist surgeon performed an emergency surgery to remove the stones overnight, giving Dodge the best chance to get back to his happy, healthy self.

The road to recovery was slow and steady, but with lots of IV fluid therapy, medications, and, most importantly, plenty of TLC from our dedicated staff, Dodge made an incredible comeback. After a few days of round-the-clock care, he was finally ready to return home to his loving family, tail wagging and spirits lifted. We’re so proud of Dodge’s strength and resilience, and we’re thrilled to see him back on his paws, enjoying life again! 💙🐶
